Abstract:

Objectives: to reflect on the performance of nutritionists in the Brazilian National School Feeding Program, with an emphasis on the number of professionals, attributes, advances and challenges. Methods: a critical essay was conducted based on a review of the literature and official data provided by National Fund for Education’s Development (NFED) of the Brazilian Ministry of Education. Results: between the years 2003 to 2011, the percentage of Brazilian municipalities with nutritionists grew satisfactorily from 12% to 79%. The northern region had the lowest percentage of local municipalities covered by nutritionists registered with the NFED (59%) and the southern region had the largest percentage (85%), while national average was 79%. In 2010, new attributes were added to the list of technical activities within the nutritionists of the Program, such as the need to interact with family farmers. Conclusions: the findings reflect a certain inequality in the distribution of nutritionists among the different regions of Brazil. The diverse activities of these professionals in the Program suggest the need for constant updating and training. It is also necessary to comply with and monitor the numerical parameters of reference for hiring nutritionists in the different municipalities and states of the country.
